    People: please do not carry an AK. Just get an AR. ARs have interchangeable parts, ammunition is cheap, and aside from Bear Creek Arsenal, they’re going to just work. AKs require significant hand fitting and there’s no single standard, ammunition prices have risen sharply since the cheap milsurp ammo flow got cut off, and at the cheaper end they tend to be dangerous to the user. Yes, I know that AKs have a reputation got working in adverse conditions, but that reputation dates to the Vietnam war, when the AR was a new platform; modern ARs are far, far more reliable and accurate than an AK.

    You can still get an AK for fun, but don’t don’t treat it like your serious gun.

    I’d be armed if my wife wasn’t so leery about firearms. She and my father-in-law are part of a ethnic minority that is specifically targeted by white supremacists and my state has active Nazi and Third Position groups. Given the way shit’s going, I want to be prepared for anything.

    FUCK YES!! Arm the fuck up. The rights not correct about much but a good guy with a gun can indeed stop a bad guy with a gun

    GOOD. UNIRONICALLY.

    this is what we need. Parity. Like guns or not, you need them at this point or you’re just going to be under the boot without ever having the tools you needed to fight back.

    Honestly it’s good for the MAGA crowd to see that normal people in America are armed too. They see themselves as wolves among sheep, while the masses are armed only with their useless empathy and critical thinking skills.

      Ive legit met a couple who were surprised I like blades and that I collect them. My three favorite ones are my 1942 Machete made for the US Army, my modern Ka-bar I bought at the Army surplus warehouse in Idaho Falls, and an M3 knife replica I bought from a local dealer.

      Now imagine how theyd react if I had a gun, though if shit goes down ill just jack it from one of their still warm corpses.

    May that firearm smash many a fascist. They only action they can get from this piece involves a “rat-a-ta-ta-tat”.
